1. Would the hero class be played alongside main? Or has to be played as alts (in other words, when it is logged in, no other classes can be played?)

The hero class would be another character in your character list. S/he would be another alt with the exception that you do not have to go all the way from lvl 1 with it. It will start off as a higher level character, exact level TBD.

There will obviously be some surge in Death Knights in the months following WotLK's release, but I don't think there will be 5 death knights in a group (since I don't think death knights will have any major healing abilities to speak of)

I don't think we'll see hero class only PvP/Battlegrounds, as far as the Death Knight being overpowered compared to other classes I don't think that will be the case either, I believe that they will be balanced just as all the current classes are balanced against each other.

Yes, there will be new talents and spells/abilities just like when Burning Crusade was released.
